[modeleng] Two piece pistons

Thanks to the generosity of Wilfried, I have the plans
of a vertical steam engine that uses the Stuart 2" x
2" cylinder casting kit as a basis---but that is
another story.

My question is this:  the plans call for a two piece
piston with rings.  I have never made one before and
was asking your input as to how well they work as
compared with the one piece ones.  I would presume
that the rings are much easier to install with the two
piece job.  What do you others think.
