The Stores Ledger, Finished Goods, WIP and Cost of Sales represent cost of goods at various stages of the production process and hence may have to be classified as Real Account only.
As far as the Cost Ledger Control account is concerned, it represents Cash, Bank, Personal Accounts. All the transactions are routed thro this account if you can not credit or debit any other Control account. For Ex: Whether it is cash or credit purchase we credit it. It can not be classified in to "Personal, Real or Nominal". Still if you want to categorize this account, the following argument may hold good.
You would have noticed that there is no personal account involved in Control Accounts. This account also can not be called as a nominal account. Hence, I feel it has to be grouped under Real account only.
