JMRI/Raspberry Pi Touchscreen panels - layout expansion questions


 

Good Afternoon,
?
I currently have a layout running with the following set up:
?
NCE Power Cab
Raspberry Pi running JMRI using M Steve Todd's file
This is connected to the layout via an NCE USB Adapter
?
The Raspberry Pi runs a touchscreen which I have set up as a control panel and operate turnouts from this - the panel itself effectively is fullscreen on the Raspberry Pi touchscreen.
?
I'm looking at expanding the layout, and realistically it would need a second control panel for the extension - I don't really want to redraw the existing panel and reduce the size of the panel itself as it's currently very user friendly.
?
From reading the various JMRI documents, I'm not entirely sure how to go about this - it is clear that I can only have one Raspberry Pi unit connected in via an NCE USB adapter , but am I correct in saying that if I network a second Pi to the main one, either via the built in wifi or an ethernet cable, this is feasible? From my limited understanding, you can load up two separate panel windows and switch between them ,so am I correct that if this is the case, the original Pi panel can effectively stay as is, with the new Pi Panel running as a networked unit and showing just the additional panel?
?
thanks in advance
