The KTM 23 tram (officially: type 71-623) is a Russian low-floor tram from UKVZ; the Ust-Katav wagon factory (Oest-Katavskiy Vagonstroitelniy Zavod).
This type has been build in both single (71-623 and 71-623-02) and bi-directional (71-623-03) variation. In the second variant (used in St. Petersburg) the trams are equiped with doors on the left side, and are coupled back-to-back.

According to Russian Wikipedia, 300 KTM 23 units were built, which run in 17 Russian cities and 4 foreign cities. Of the bidirectional variation (71-623-03), 16 units were built.

Operations In Simulator

In Metrosimulator, the KTM 23 is divided into three series:
The 9301-9320 are in the color scheme of St. Petersburg, the example for this tram.
The 9321-9340 are in the color scheme of R-net. They probably would have been painted in this scheme, if they were implemented in the Netherlands.
The 9341-9375 are repaintable. You will find the texture file (KTM23.png) under 'Data/custom/textures'. This file is delivered in the Moscow color scheme, but you can change it to your own specifications.

In Rijndam 2020, you can use this tram on lines T1 and T2.
