HMC150 SUNSET Settings please?

I need to create an "artificial Sunset " scene of a steam engine etc. Loco travelling at 30 mph. I would like to create engine chugging along as a silhouette against a sunset sky. Can anyone give me ideas for scene settings. I have been using standard Scene 6, Cine which works fine for normal daylight shots. I havebeen shooting 720/50p due to subject movement requirements etc. Help would be greatly appreciated.

well.. for starters you'll want to crush the blacks as much as necessary so a master ped of maybe -60 or more will really add some contrast and be inclinded to make your subject go into sillhouette. You can also do some color correcting in post...

This has some sunset stuff in it. I boosted everything in post:
