when adding decals to a structure, car or locomotive, do I have to add a gloss coat to the ENTIRE thing, or can I just put a gloss coat on the part where the decal goes?

I will suggest to make the overall vehicle surface glossy, otherwise you may get problems after the final coat.
On buildings is acceptable your method.

Do you use Dull-Coat before you decal, Tyson? I had always been told that you want a glossy surface for decals (wet type) and a dull surface for dry transfers. After the decals are done, I shoot Dull-Coat over the entire model.
I use a Gloss paint, add decal then Dull-Cote. If you put a decal on a flat finish it will usually have a mirror finish where the clear sections are.
