I¡¯d second this approach. It means you can use your main PCs screen, keyboard and mouse as if you were physically working on your Pi
The only downside is that your Pi needs to be powered on
Alternatively (and this is probably not for average users), you could set up your JMRI user files on a shared drive somewhere (DropBox or similar). Then you work on your PC in simulator mode and your Pi will see everything you do. Just don¡¯t start both
JMRIs at the same time

You may find it just as easy to use a remote desktop connection to the Pi4 and do the JMRI configuration once. I have a Pi4 connected to a Digitrax controller. The Pi4 has VNC server enabled and I use RealVNC viewer to access the Pi4. I do not use Steve's
Pi image but loaded the RPI OS, added Java then the JMRI. If you use Steve's image you should connect the Pi4 to your home WIFI. I believe Steve has instructions on how to do this. I can connect to my Pi4 with a Mac, Windows PC's, Android tablet and Linux
(even another Pi4).
