The problem is that the city used older proven designs rather that what would have been the latest and greatest. The BMT was experimenting while the city wasn't. And the design of the stations followed the earlier design for the entire IND. Even the Fulton St stations past Bway/ENY used the same design even post WWII, but at least these were updated to use fluorescent lights right from the start. The result was that the cars didn't age very well and looked older than they actually were.

Back to my original post too, QB now has a modern signaling system that replaced the original 1930s one, and the original stations look "classic" rather than old. The Archer stations just look like crap.
