NSB BM83 is an diesel-electric railcar operated by Norges Statsbaner between 1932 and 1963. Four units were built by Skabo using a Deutsche Werke engine, though later replaced with Hercules engines. The railcars were used on Vossebanen until the electrification in 1954 when they were transferred to Skreiabanen, though between 1957-61 one car was used between Voss and Myrdal. They were all taken out of service in 1963 when passenger transport on Skreiabanen was terminated.
