NSB BM92 is a Norwegian diesel railway multiple unit manufactured by Duewag. It is used for commuter trains around Trondheim (Trønderbanen), on Meråkerbanen (Nabotåget) and occasionally on Rørosbanen. The train is not equipped with as many amenities as the NSB BM93 which is used on longer services.
A BM92 trainset consists of two carriages. Four of the fourteen sets are equipped with a large luggage room. They were built between 1984 and 1985. On January 4, 2000, a BM92 set with luggage room was lost in a fatal collision on Rørosbanen, the Åsta accident, which killed a total of 19 people.
