Motorize trim wheels

Hello,

I'm coming to you for some information and help. I would like to motorize my trim wheels, but don't know if it's possible and what I need. Let me explain :

I have a throttle from FSC which is non motorized and completely empty inside. My 2 trims wheels don't work even manual, they're just linked togheter with an axe and can move freely. I'm always trimming on my yoke.

Yesterday I went in a real 737 sim and I love trimming and seeing this wheels turn so fast. I would like to have some life in my trim wheels and let them turn when I trim on my yoke. They're not used, not connected to any input, I just want an output turning the wheels when I'm trimming.

I there any way with I/O card to drive a motor ? Is there any motor that would be good to make such trim wheels turn ? If yes, would it be possible to let them turn at high speed like in the real 737 ?

It can be a crazy idea but just wanted to have some help about this.

Thank you very much !  ;)

Maxime.
