Here's my Custom 98462 model. While I prefer to call him by his number, I acknowledge the fan given name Alfred, which is far less jarring than reading 5 numbers. He was made for my Sodor Timelapse video, however I've since updated his tender:

For those who don't know, 98462 was one of the three unnamed engines in the illustrations of Wilbert Awdrey's first book 'The Three Railway Engines'.
I realise he looks nothing like a B12, which is kinda the general consensus of what build he was, but I went into this with the assumption that we actually don't know his real build. I also went into this with materials that I already owned, which didn't give me heaps of freedom regarding what I could work with.
I used an RC James for the body, because it is as large as Gordon and Henry (RC James is massive) but has a straight footplate, which is characteristic of a B12. I painted it the same colour blue as I did my Donald and Douglas, and then used Donald's Tender, which more similar to the LNER Tender. I used photoshop to remove the 9 from his tender. Victor's face was used because I liked how it looked as if he was grimacing rather than smiling.
